Access Issue: Most of these boulders are within the Mt Evans Wilderness Area, regulated & patrolled by the US.
Details

Most boulders are located within the Mt. Evans Wilderness Area, regulated & patrolled by the USFS. Climbers should be on their best behavior, practice Leave No Trace. Please abide by these requirements: it can take vegetation decades to recover from damage. Place crash pads judiciously, & keep brushing to a minimum. Before adding new lines, considered the damage that may be caused by additional foot traffic, pads, etc.

Chalk is unsightly to non-climbers. Please avoid chalking up boulder problems that are visible from the Chicago Lakes Trail, & in general, keep chalk use to a minimum. Brush all tick marks off after every session. Use containers that prevent chalk spills & if you do spill, clean it up.

Stashing crash pads is forbidden by the USFS. Pads will be confiscated.

Noise: this is a Wilderness area that is enjoyed by many, mostly non-climbers. The last thing passing hikers want to hear are f-bombs, iPod speakers, grunting, etc. In fact, most other CLIMBERS don't want to hear any of these things either. The easiest way for us to lose access is to elicit complaints from other user groups.

Dogs must be leashed at all times, they scare wildlife. Obviously, clean up after your dog.

Remember we are guests in this area. Be respectful of other users & the USFS Rangers that manage this area.

Description

Sit start on the detached rock with your left hand on the undercling feature and your right hand on the lower sidepull feature. Cool compression moves and trickery lead to a committing top out that's easier than it looks.
